Hi! Starting with your line exercises. Your superimposed lines and ghosted lines look confidently drawn which is good. The biggest thing to watch out for looks to be arching - see here. This looks a little better in your lines in planes, though quite a lot of your lines here are overshooting the mark.
Your tables of ellipses look good! I can tell you read the instructions carefully. Good work on the ellipses in planes and funnels too. There's not really anything major I can see to criticise here.
Your rough perspective boxes definitely improved as the exercise went on. Main things I noticed were again arching lines and overshooting lines.
Your rotated boxes look pretty good, especially given how tough an exercise this is. If you could keep the spaces between your boxes more constant it would be even better.
There's a few boxes on your first page of organic perspective that are missing a third set of lines. Also, a lot of your boxes' vanishing points seem to be tending towards infinity. Don't worry though - if you're doing the 250 box challenge, this should fix any perspective problems.
Overall, a very good submission. I have no problems with marking the lesson as complete. Well done!

Thank you for the critique and review, it was really helpful. I will use the next exercises to correct the arching and overshooting lines.

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen
This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.
Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
